Words of a poet
get all dolled up in fancy typeface
for show on paper stage.

Curtain is drawn with a raised pen-like baton
as words are readied inside a writers mind
that becomes like backstage.

All letters are word performers
who at a moments notice
step forward from chasms of a writers mind.

With breath, director who is an inspired sonneteer.
sounds the cue for the poem recital to begin.

Letters combine in creative form
making visions come alive
as readers present watch.

Forms show themselves italicized
to give strong tone to spoken word.
while others in bold costumes come in view making a point.

Phases dance faster on page
with descriptive jargon in front of a vellum backdrop
due to the writer/directors expanding passion.

Soon all actors have left their mark on illuminated stage
as poetic saga is done the curtain closes.

Closes for the readers eye lids to applaud
as the poet bows in peace.

Poems are spiritual food, cooked in the heart
and served on a platter-like screen.
A feast for a readers eyes and mind.

Poems are golden words, that give insight,
into the intricacies of a human existence.
It’s the platform that keeps a creative mind focused.

Poems are words that spiral with force from heart
and is the fuel that spins a web of light.
It gives phases a place to call home.

Poems are the gift a writer gives,
to all who come to their table.

MY HEART BECOMES LIIKE WASHING MACHINE
AS EMOTIONS BECOME THE LIQUID FROM MY TEARS.
EXPERIENCES IN DAY BECOME THE SOAP THAT
BUBBLES UP CATAPULTING ME  INTO FEELINGS STRONG.
RELEASE I DO, HOPING TO CLEANSE MY SOUL.
HOPING TO PURIFY SELF TO MOVE FREE.

Hug-a-lug out to dear you,
cause it's what I want to do.
To hug with love is grand your see.
 it opens heart so I fly free.  

Free to drift in morning light
The feeling it is out of sight.    
So in my day, I’ll send out love.
And then we'll fly like sacred dove. 

Hug a lug, oh Hug a lug! 
I send it now to fill a jug.
In mind please do yes drink away 
as blessings now I send today.

As you awake to your magnificence, take a breath and know you can handle all obstacles because your essence as a divine being is love.

Rock and roll with your true self
and you can dance on air
knowing you are so divine
you'll move without a care

Obstacles will melt away
Love is yes the key.
Move in gratitude each day,
and blessings you will see.
